"Excellent séjour, établissement pratique et bien situé, avec le confort requis et un bon wifi."

9.0

J'ai aimé la proximité immédiate avec l'Université, la vitesse du wifi et le confort général de la chambre, en plus du quartier qui est très bien.

La chambre est un peu vieillotte, mais quand même confortable. J'aurais aimé disposer d'une bouilloire dans la chambre pour éviter les allers-retours dans la cuisine, même si ce n'est pas non plus dramatique.

"I enjoyed my stay."

8.0

Great location, and the most was made out of the space.

The refrigerator didn't work, and it was a bit loud at times which can be expected from an older hhouse.

"Overall, certainly value for money. Nothing can beat the location and the free parking."

8.0

Location - best aspect of the property. Located at a 5-minutes walking distance from the Harvard Yard, this is one of the best locations possible for people visiting Harvard University. The lady at the front desk was welcoming and friendly, and responded promptly to my wife's somewhat unusual request for a shower cap. The coffee is excellent. We were also very happy to be able to get a free parking spot - which is like a dream in this part of Cambridge.

The stairs - if you have bad knees and some heavy bags, you are bound to struggle. But overall, given the age of the property, they have done a decent job to maintain it in the best possible manner. The last time we visited this property (possibly in 2017 or 2018), they had a nice little free breakfast in the basement. Re starting that may be a good idea. People may be happy just grabbing a muffin and an apple on their way to work.
